Candide in Chronology is on strike

"Sister-in-law, don't make trouble, I'm busy!"

"If you don't choose, I will help you choose! If you choose the thinner and fatter one, don't blame me."

There are fourteen members in Chen Sui's family, and each person can get seven taels, which is nine catties and eight taels.

As for the matter of adding [-] to [-], using power for personal gain, and adding ten catties to his old aunt, Butcher Chen never thought about it, nor would he do it.

How much meat is given, he will calculate it later and tell him. After the meat is weighed, the accountant will look at the scale, and there will be as much as he wants. If he wants to eat more and take more, there is no way.

Compared with the surrounding villages, the cadres of Chenhui Village are still very responsible and relatively honest. Among other things, they have done a good job in mutual supervision, especially the accountants in the village, who have steelyards in their hearts. On the one hand, he holds tighter and calculates more clearly, so no one can fool him.

"No, no, no, I'll do it myself. First cut me two taels of pork suet. For the rest, I want this and this. If it's not enough, cut some from this piece of meat to make up for my nine It's a lot of meat."

Everything was decided by Chen Sui. The captain's daughter-in-law, the cousin, had no face in front of her mother-in-law. She didn't even say a word, and she was just a tool. Just carry the meat in the basket.

"Grandma, your eyes are good enough! It's not the same as before." The words in his mouth kept going, but the movements of Chen Butcher's hands were neat, and he packed the meat his old aunt wanted.

When he was young, he sold meat for a few years, but he developed his hand feeling. He hung it on the scale and weighed it. It was almost the same, and there was still a difference of two or two scales. He cut a small piece of meat directly from a piece of meat. After the meat comes down, put it on the scale, and it's complete.

The accountant looked at it, and after confirming that it was correct, he put a tick next to Chen Zongze's name, and wrote [-] behind it.

"next."

The speed of the team's advancement is not fast. It often takes one or two minutes to advance to a position. If the time is long, it may even take four to five minutes to argue with Chen Butcher and the accountant.

For the three brothers and sisters of the Qin family who were ranked seventh, their eyes lit up every time they advanced. They were ranked sixth, and after more than ten minutes, it was finally their turn.

"Sister, you can choose which one you want. My brother and I are not as proficient in this area as you."

Qin He and Qin Jiang, who were standing on Qin Xi's left and right sides, took a small step outside to give her enough space so as not to affect Qin Xi's performance.

Unknowingly, Qin Xi has been in this world of books for two and a half years. To be honest, sometimes, she even forgets that this is a story in a book, because everything around her is alive, flesh and blood. people.

No matter what kind of world this is, it doesn't matter to her. She just needs to remember that the people around her are real people. It is only reasonable to live every day with peace of mind. This time, she wants to see it with her own eyes. Take off with the motherland.

I have stayed here for a long time, and I do as the Romans do. What Qin Xi chose was also the favorite of the people at this time. A piece of meat with a lot of fat, plus two taels of pork suet. The oil for the next two months at home will depend on half a catty of fat. Plus two taels of pork suet.

After getting the meat from the village, this is not the end. Pig head, internal organs, pig trotters, pig tail, pork ribs and stick bones are not liked by the villagers. Generally speaking, they will be picked and left. When the time comes, there will be no ticket for fifty cents a catty You can buy the "pork" at will, depending on whether you are willing to part with the money.

Qin Xi is naturally willing to do so. Buying meat from the village is much more cost-effective than buying meat from the black market. In three days until New Year's Eve, you can't afford a chicken from a farm that costs [-] yuan a catty. affordable.

I went to Yongxin County to buy ten catties of flour a month ago, and now there are still six catties left. On New Year’s Eve, Qin Xi planned to make dumplings, stuffed with meat, so the two catties and one tael of meat at home were really good. No matter how much you plan, you will not be able to stay on that day.

"Which one of you stays here in line? The rest of you, go home and feed the rabbit."

"When everyone gets their share of meat, we can buy meat and eat it back. It costs five cents a catty, isn't it a good deal!"

Seeing Qin Jiang and Qin He nodding wildly, Qin Xi silently decided to buy more later. In this kind of weather, this fresh meat is stored outdoors, and it will be frozen overnight. Wait for five, six, seven, eight days, and it will not spoil. of.

"When there are only a few people left behind, I will come here to meet you. Who do you plan to keep in line here?"

Qin Xi reckoned that it would take more than an hour for the meat to be divided. Although it seemed silly to wait here, if he could buy good meat, it would be worth it.

The sun has already come out, and they stand in line under the sun. In winter, they are very friendly to humans. If the pigs are not slaughtered today and the sun comes out, the three brothers and sisters should also stay outside to bask in the sun at this time.

"I, I, I, I will stay here and line up. Please pay attention to your time. If you have nothing to do at home, come here to bask in the sun."

Qin He didn't mean that he was queuing here alone, feeling unbalanced, insisting on someone to accompany him, he was just afraid that his sister Qin Xi would miss the time, if it was his turn, but Qin Xi hadn't come yet , Good meat is bought by others, how distressing it is!
After all, he was really poor, and his entire body cost only [-] cents. With his little money, he couldn't even buy a catty of spare ribs.

"Don't worry, we will." After Qin Xi patted her second brother on the shoulder, he left directly, followed by Qin Jiang.

"Sister, what do we have for lunch?"

"Meat, pork, let's go back and cook lard first."

"Can you give me some lard residue after boiling the oil?"

"Yes, but you can only eat two pieces, and the rest will be used to make dumplings."

"Dumplings?" Qin Jiang repeated these two words, falling into the memories of the past.

He still remembers the dumplings that must be eaten at home on New Year's Eve a long time ago. At that time, he could get four dumplings, but after that, they became less and less, and after that, he could only get one.

Until last year's New Year's Eve, he and his sister spent time at grandma's house. Although the food was rich, it didn't taste good because of his worries.

Now there are only the three brothers and sisters here, but fortunately, the people he cares about are still there.

As for the Qin family, Qin Jiang treated them not only because of face, but also because of face. All the previous things cannot be erased by time.

"What's the matter? Don't you like eating dumplings?" Qin Xi asked curiously.

Nope!When she was in Qin's family before, she clearly cherished what he ate, but she loved it badly.

"Like, can I have four dumplings?"

"Of course, I'll pack ten for you. It's perfect."
